May, 2006 – Boulder Sales Analysis (Preliminary)
by Osman Parvez
It’s been a few days since I last blogged. Real estate activity with clients and terrific weather have kept me from the task. For those of you unfamiliar with Boulder in the summer, there’s always something happening outdoors (today’s adventure)
So what’s happening in the market? Here’s a sneak peak at Boulder’s sales numbers for May and how current inventory is shaping up as we move into the peak summer selling season.
The good news is that the sluggishness of April and March seems to have dissipated. The market in May was very similar to May of 2005, and residential real estate appears quite healthy in the City of Boulder.
The official numbers aren’t quite out. This is my preliminary analysis.
Home Sales
Sales Volume: 101 Homes sold in Boulder in May, 2006 up about 3% from the same period last year. Median Price: $565,500, down 2.5% from May ’05. Median DOM: 61 days, 1 day more than May ’05.
Home Inventory: 397 Homes currently available (not under contract) with median DOM of 45.
Condo and Townhome Sales
Sales Volume: 103 units sold, up about 4%. Median Price: $264,000, down about 1.7%. Median DOM: 77 Days, down 8.3%.
Condo and Townhome Inventory: 448 units currently available (not under contract) with a median DOM of 56.
Note, when I chart the data later this month, inventory numbers will appear higher because the data source I normally use treats properties under contract but accepting backup offers as “available.”

We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.
Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
